This study aims to: 1. Investigate the impact of MED-AD intervention on medication adherence among CVD patients, compared to patients receiving text message reminders or routine care alone at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months later. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of MED-AD intervention on clinical outcomes among patients with CVD, compared to the outcomes of patients receiving text or routine care alone at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months later. This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) with three arms: 1. MED-AD intervention: MED-AD is a smartphone application that will use the following strategies (pill reminders, Medication Adherence Report, medication intake confirmation, Medical Appointment Reminder, and educational notifications) to enhance medication adherence 2. Text message reminders: Participants will receive short text message (SMS) reminders to remind them to take medications as prescribed once daily 3. Routine care only: Participants will receive routine care that does not include text messages or reminders and education through an application.
